ENTS,
Periodically, I go through a mental exercise of ranking the big/tall trees in Massachusetts according to a number of criteria. I seem compulsive about doing this. I also think about determining the probability of finding a tree that reaches a girth or height threshold. My judging eye is good enough to recognize candidates for one list or another from fairly great distances. I'm not as good as Will, and don't ever expect to be, but I'm good enough. As a consequence, I've been able to develop some empirical probabilities over the last few years. My focus has been white pines. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Eastern Native Tree Society http://www.nativetreesociety.org Send email to [email protected] Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/entstrees?hl=en To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
